Doussou Bagayoko (or Bagayogo) is a young singer of 19 years old.
Daughter of the great Nahawa Doumbia and guitar
player N'gou Bagayoko, she had the opportunity to record a CD at such young age.
When she was 11, she already participated successfully in a song contest organised by Radio
Mali.
With her debut album, Doussou's voice already makes waves in Mali. The music is
basically wassoulou music, but using elements of zouk. The use of keyboards on her debut album
could have been left out as Malian music is as expressive as can be, and needs no
articifial ingredients.
Those of you that have seen her perform with her mother on the Paris Africolor
festival in December 2001 could witness that she enchanted the audience with her voice
and her appearance.
